Deploying MySQL to Google Cloud can be a daunting task. There are a few different ways to go about it, and the best approach depends on the specific needs of your application.

To get started, create a Google Cloud Platform project. This will create a set of resources for you, including aGoogle Compute Engine instance, a Google Cloud Storage bucket, and a Google Cloud Platform Service Account.

Next, create a MySQL instance. This can be done by following these steps:

Log in to the Google Cloud Platform Console. Select your project in the left navigation panel. Click Compute Engine on the left panel. Select Instances. Select the instance you want to create, and then click create. Select the type of instance: t2.micro for a small number of cores, m1.small for a medium number of cores, or m1.large for more cores. In the MySQL instance details page, set the following options: Location: Set the location of the MySQL instance.

Set the location of the MySQL instance. Memory: Choose the amount of memory for the MySQL instance.

Choose the amount of memory for the MySQL instance. Storage: Choose the type of storage for the MySQL instance.

Choose the type of storage for the MySQL instance. Cloud Storage: Click the button to add a new storage bucket.

In the Cloud Storage dialog box, set the following options: Storage: Choose the storage bucket to use.

Choose the storage bucket to use. Access: Choose the type of access you want to give the MySQL instance: read-only or read-write.
